General Manuel Echeverría,
Camp No. 6.
General Echeverría.
I have already received notice from the boys and
they say that they did not attack at 7 as
ordered because they were in search of some
people they had told them about. They got
there at 7 in the morning and at that time the
battle began and it lasted only four hours.
We had no casualties, only one slightly wounded
in the leg. I have already given orders to
reconcentrate here for rest. Send me the
paper I sent for you to copy, the manifesto
where we say that only to a Liberal government
will we surrender our arms. I have an idea
and I want to take advantage of it.
